Hey guys and gals,
In desperate need of help. Tried to upgrade my himalaya with the Asia O2 XDA II WM 2003 SE Upgrade.
Upgrade was unsuccesful; upon turning on the XDA there are only two things on the screen; near the top, it says 'Serial", and near the bottom, "v 1.06".
The xda will not respond to hard resets nor soft resets. What can I do to recover from this disaster? When cradled, it will not connect via usb to activesync.
If this is not user servicable, does anyone know a good place in Melbourne, Australia to fix the himalaya?
Any help is appreciated!
When it's docked in the cradle, does SERIAL change to USB?
Try this:
Take out the memory card (if you have one) and the battery. Not sure why the memory card, but mine had problems with it in when I tried to upgrade.
Wait 30 mins or so for the battery backup to flatten/wipe everything (You loose everything on a ROM upgrade anyway)
then plug the battery back in and recradle it and simply try starting the flash again.
I've had similar problems, but this has always worked here and we have different devices, but I feel confident that the same solution may work.
had the same problem... my solution was docking it in the cradle (it does not show connected) and reinstall the ROM
Failed upgrade of XDAII
Hello I was in the process of updating my XDA rom and after 50% was copied to the device it dropped out.
Now when I power on the XDA it hangs on the O2 screen and my rom flash program cannot talk to it.
I have tried taking the battery out and leaving it for an hour but this has no effect.
Any ideas?
Installing rom from the SD card on boot
Is it possible to do this and if so how would I go about it?
If I cant get an OS on it its going to have to go away for repair for 3 weeks.
Also have you done a few upgrades on your XDA2 and on the same PC?
I had the same issue with my XDA2 as I was upgrading to 2003SE (before getting a 2i) and I could not get any further than the USB 1.01 screen.
I installed Activesync on a laptop, put the USB in and put my 2i in to complete the installation. Then, I put the 2 in and tried rerunning the upgrade...worked first time! I'd spent 6 hours on my PC trying to get it working.
Worth a try, certainly!
Cheers
Anthony

My wife is going to kill me because I just bought this XDA 2 and now it is dead ! (like me soon !)
disastrous xda upgrade
try consulting dr. stein or toenailed or xda jojo and zeroxtreme. these are the tech guys in southeast asia. they're very good! :lol:
Have you tried rebooting into Bootloader mode (hold down D pad in centre position, then power button and soft reset - all at the same time), then trying to rerun the upgrade?

When you started the upgrade did all seem to go as planned? Did you have the power cable plugged in whilst upgrading? Did you notice any strange messages when it started to upgrade, and how far roughly did it get before you started having problems?
Also, what was the software version before you upgraded? Any ideas?
Cheers
Anthony
Hi Anthony: Everything seem to be going ok and then..
the screen went blank. I did have the AC plugged in during the attempted ROM conversion from Chinese to English and I tried rebooting into bootloader mode and nothing.
Do you think my 02 XDA2 can be fixed ?
Thanks
downgrade XDAII failure
Pals ,
I also facing the same problems , now my XDA II is blanked and only
Serial and V1.06 written ,
can anyone in this forum help ? please eeee ?
thanks
if the screen shows you something like serial1.something you're still okay. do a couple of hard resets; then put the unit back on the cradle. as expected activesync will not recognize the device BUT double click the upgrade file again.
this happened to me when i went to wm2003se; forgot to do a soft reset and proceeded with the upgrade. what i did was uncradled the unit, did a hard reset (screen still showed serial1.06), cradled her back (nothing happens here) then doubled clicked on the upgrade file. it proceeded accordingly until the entire process was completed.
dont' fret, as long as something's still showing on your screen you're still a-ok.
Thanks Robs..
I will try...
Yeah, after hard-resetting the unit, it seems that it did not reset because the serial/usb letters & v1.07 at the bottom of the screen is still there. But if you drain the battery, then put it back in the cradle & restart the ROM upgrade, it will work. At least it did for me.
As I've also said but seems to have been ignored, try running the upgrade on a different PC...you may be surprised!
Cheers
Ant
thanks Anton ...
I tried so many times in my pc until the sync wont work anymore , so i tried to do at my laptop ... still same .... should i change to another pc again ? pls advice , thanks man.

Hi, did you manage to downgrade to WM2003? Was your bootloader version 1.06? I had problem in downgrading from WM2003SE. Hope to hear from you. thanks.
I was trying to update my WM5 to WM6 I have the G4 8125 , now it wont turn on I plugged it in to the charger port and the light that shows it's charging doesn’t even come on. Last night after I was trying to update it went completely blank, I tried to run the Official AT&T RUU_Wizard_225111_22511102_022511_CWS_WWE_Ship_1 and it wont even connect to my phone it gives me the connect error, every now and then last night it would show the boot loader screen but now its doing nothing someone HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!! PLZZZ Does this mean my phone is bricked ???
brick is normal!
you should donate the brick to xda-developers now!
What you mean is normal ? is their anyway way i can get it fixed or is it just a paper weight now ?
probably runed out of battery. you should charge the battery in some way. try to power on the device while pressing camera button. it should show a boot loader screen. the you should flash a G4 SAFE ROM (with no spl/ipl) like "wizard love". if that doesnt help, sorry mate, you have a brick
are you able to enter bootloader?
hold down camera and either press power or reset button
No im not able to do anything on the phone lastnight it would go into bootloader randomly evey now and again but it isnt doing nothing now.
Ugh , i hope it is just the battery if it isnt then theirs nothing i can do for the phone unless i can get it in to bootloader mode right ?
your battery is dead...that's why you can't enter bootloader.
Moving to wizard G4.
Only the original charger is capable to charge your battery (it has a little bit more power), if it's fully charged... go into bootloader mode and install your official ROM the normal way.
It worked for me.
correct
im dealing with the same issue and my battery isnt dead

That's not very encouraging and nice thing to say.We all came here as newbies,not a big deal.
We all hate to see a guy loose his device like this,after all it's a developer's forum,we shud be atleast concerned and help out,if we can.
Hope you two be able to get your devices working again soon.
Good luck
Fixed

Take off battery and place it back, switch on. What happens?
Regards,
Carty..
First thing to try: search and read WIKI:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Prophet_recovery
Perhaps the links to the AKU/NVID are dead, I didn't check, but you can use any official ROM to get your phone back.
You MUST disable the 'connect through usb' option in AS before it will work.
Please Help I Have Done Everything But Cannot Get My Prophet To Connect Via Usb.
I TRIED EVERYTHING. I have bootloader screen but when i connect through USB it just says that device not recognized and nothing would happen. I even took the battery out for 2 hours... put in another phone charged to maximum and still same problem. Please if anyone could help.. i love this phone cant let it die like that.
I have ni ideas other than that you are doing something wrong...

Well I used the upgrade guide and i have done upgrades before and everything went fine. Except today when i tried the new way and tried to load the New Shadow Rom. all was done ok but when the phone restarted it just stucks at the bootloader. and since then it wont connect through USB . the PDA wont get recognized at all.. any ideas?
Use the 'old' upgrade method, and recover using an official wm5 rom from the ftp server. you must disable connect through usb in active sync... see the wiki for more details (prophet recovery)
please go to the link in my

Should Help!

This happened to me several times...
Please do the following with a fully charged battery and not USB or charger connected :
toutch the battery contacts fast several times (it creates a small sparkle that you may not see) then press the start button. That should do the trick

try this :
Brick Test:
1. Make sure your device has ample battery charge. If you're not sure plug
it in with the wall charger for at least 10min
2. Remove your battery for at least 1 minute
3. Replace your battery while observing the LED lights
4. If the LED blinks once upon battery insertion, you might have hope yet
The only way to upgrade on a semi-brick device, is to upgrade through bootloader mode. No bootloader mode, No upgrade possible - period.
Entering Bootloader Mode on Semi-Brick Atom:
1. Remove battery for for at least 1 minute
2. Press CAMERA+RESET(stylus) simultaneously
3. Insert battery while still holding the buttons
4. Release the buttons at the same time (You should see bootloader
screen)
Note: Failure to hold the buttons at the same time during battery insertion will cause it not to work.
good luck
@ knoxbrotherhood
yes, i can access the bootloader.. but i cant find the right ROM for my ATOM.
